About Eric Koogler

With over 15 years of hands-on experience in financial services technology, I've built my career at the intersection of IT operations, core banking systems, and business process optimization. From managing mission-critical platforms for credit unions to leading enterprise-wide system conversions during institutional mergers, I bring a rare combination of technical depth and strategic business thinking to every engagement.What sets me apart is my ability to take complex, high-stakes technology environments and make them run better, more reliably, more securely, and more efficiently. Whether it's standing up disaster recovery frameworks, governing SLA performance, or translating business requirements into scalable system solutions, I stay focused on outcomes that matter to the organization and the clients it serves.Throughout my career, I've worked across the full IT operations spectrum, from hands-on systems administration to managing teams, vendors, and executive stakeholders simultaneously. I've led core system migrations, redesigned support workflows, implemented compliance controls, and built documentation frameworks that outlast any single project.I'm most energized working in environments where technology decisions have real business consequences, and were getting things right the first time is non-negotiable.
